	"description": "July marked the 14 straight month of record-breaking heat. Each year, 40 workers die completely unnecessarily from exposure to heat with farm workers and construction workers disproportionately impacted. In More Perfect Union’s video above, we spoke with farmworkers in North Carolina who are suffering under dangerous working conditions. They told us that even in heat that regularly tops 100 degrees, they are responsible for securing their own water throughout the day. Their employer has no legal obligation to do so. The risks of extreme heat are also felt especially hard by construction workers who have to wear helmets and goggles that only make matters worse, trapping heat on the head and the eyes. Heat related injuries include heat exhaustion, permanent damage to eyes, and in some cases even death. Now, with many businesses refusing to adjust their safety standards to protect workers, the Biden administration is taking action. The Department of Labor (DOL) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have introduced a new heat standard rule titled Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Settings. If implemented, this new rule would protect workers from extreme heat by ensuring breaks, shade, and water on the job. But the Chamber of Commerce as well as the construction industry and other special interests are opposing the new rule. The DOL and OSHA need to hear from us. Click “START WRITING” to send your official comment to the Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration urging them to implement the new heat standard rule to protect workers from extreme heat.",
